Protecting the health of IETT drivers, who are among the most challenging occupational groups during the epidemic period, is the top priority of both İBB and its subsidiary IETT. ”
“REALIZED WITH DIRECT PURCHASE METHOD”
In the statement, which stated that 100 thousand special-quality masks were purchased in May for the use of IETT drivers, it was stated that “The purchase was made by direct purchase method as permitted by the legislation due to the epidemic”.
